The Burlesque followed the ex-
hibition by the Sir Knights, and was
truly ridiculous and amusing. The
Tournament reflected great credit on
the ingenuity and enterprise of Mr..
w. r. Garter, who got up the affair
at big expense. There were about
thirty "Knights" good night, to-
night, last night, tomorrow night
and a great many under other NAMES
in Tie crowd of "Bald Knobbers. "
The burlesquers were gotten up with
great skill, and some of the designs
were superb. MIR. Dennis O'Callag-
han, of Thompson, made an attrac-
tive 3O0-pound Queen, and wore the
crown with becoming dignity. The
Queen was crowned by MIR. A. @.
Hit, "Uncle Abe" in graceful man.
fner. The whole affair was supremely
h1dicrous, and kept the thousands OF
spectators in roar of laughter. Car
Ter had, at great expense, procured
for his "Knobbers," thirty of the
meanest looking and least attractive
horses and mules in the county.

Another Anarchists Arsenal
Found.

The house of refuge of the boodlers
OF New York is the court of appeals,
the court of last resort in the state.
The conviction of Jacob Sharp for
bribing the aldermen of New York
into granting franchise to the
Broadway Railway Company worth
u million dollars, as a gratuity has
been set aside by the court Of appeals
OF New York in session at Albany,
the 90 OF November.
The reasons the court assigned for
giving Mr.. Sharp q new trial in a
case which simply involved iInpris-
onment for term Of years, were the
very class Of reasons over ruled in
the supreme court Of Illinois tn the
case of Spies, Parsons ct. al.
4 committee Of the senate OF New
York investigating among other
things the methods of the Broadway
Railway company in obtaining con.
sent and also the action in respect
thereto Of the board OF aldermen OF
said city or Of any member thereof,
who voted to graut said franchise,
summoned Jacob Sharp as a witness
and compelled him to give involun.
tary evidence against the aldermen
of the city which established by IRE.
futable evidence Jacob Sharp's par.
ticipation and completely in the brib.
ing Of the aldermen OF the city. TIL.
evidence thus obtained was used al
his trial to convict him of the crime
for which he was sentenced.
The court held that admitting this
testimony was an error; it also held
that it was an error to admit the tes
ti'nony of the detectives employed by
the state.
In the Chicago trial OF the so-callet
anarchists precisely such evidenc,
was used against them and the cour
refused to strike it out and refused ,
new trial though it was urged upol
precisely the same grounds.
| Ii the decision in the New Yorl
case was right, then that in Illinoi
case was wrong, if that in Illinoi
was right, then that in New York
wrong. This discrimination of tn
courts against poverty and in favo
Of rich robbers is a more complet
arsenal for the manufacture of ar
archists than any thing that may b
said by the most violent men OF tina
Iclass.

Anarchy IL no remedy for robbery,
What il needed is law that shall re-

with the system, and that can only
be changed by law.
We are no anarchist, have been a

too, to see in the streets men wearing fur
caps and their Threats wrapped In heavy
muff1ers, while the women who walk be-
side them have nothing on their heads at

The people Of France are said to be
very unstable, eccentric and excit-
able. The recent resignation of Pres
ident Grevy, and the causes which
led to 1t seem to confirm what is al
legged as the peculiar traits of the
French people. The causes which
led to his resignation were tribes that
would have insured him popular sup
port in this country-or at least he
wonld not have been censured be-
cause Of them. His only offence was
dwelling in the same house with q
son-in-law who made merchandise Of
the places and trusts at the disposal
Of the national executive. In this
country an executive who had accept
cd Of presents from bull pups to pala-
tial mansions, whose confidential and
trusted advisers were members OF the
whisky ring which was defrauding
the peoples treasury Of millions and
millions Of money, and who made
merchandise of the public Offices at
the disposal Of the administration,
was the choice Of large percentage
Of his party for third term, and a
speaker Of the House OF Represent
atives who sold his rulings to the COR
porations was the choice OF that party
for President In 1884 and may again
